A discussion of racial justice cannot merely begin and end with the name “George Floyd.” Yes, we must do the most humane of our long-needed reforms: ending mass incarceration, closing the school-to-prison pipeline, and enacting the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
But we also must pursue an America that is truly equal. We must be willing to have real conversations about where racism in America still exists—from housing to hiring to education and beyond—and work together as a country to eliminate racism’s harmful effects on our society. This will be an incredibly difficult path but one we must follow if we are to fully realize the promise of America for all of its citizens.
